I had an enjoyable experience at the hotel, drawing particular satisfaction from the outstanding breakfast and the luxurious spa services. The spacious rooms offered great comfort, and the welcoming atmosphere made my stay even more pleasant. However, the dining options could benefit from some improvement, especially regarding dessert quality. The service staff, while generally attentive, had a few moments where they seemed defensive about complaints, which slightly impacted my overall impression.
